Yes, yes, I know I haven't posted in two weeks. I'm a bad blogger. And this one ain't gonna satisfy anybody who actually cares about my running, either, but I'll give a quick update:
Boot camp hurts. Badly. Those are muscles I haven't used in 20 (OK, 17) years. Damn.
It feels good to be swimming again. Not this week, but 2000 yards last week in about 50 minutes was pretty good. It'll only take a little longer to get back to my all-time high of 5000 in 59:50. But that was when I was 16. And it was non-stop (for the Swim-a-thon). And it was just about the last time I used any of the muscles that we're using in boot camp.
Ran a 10-miler on Saturday. Unfortunately, when you use MapMyRun to create a new route that you've never really done before... well, it doesn't show fences. So we got lost for a little bit. But we managed to adjust and it actually came out remarkably close to my goal distance. And it didn't feel too bad. And it took less than two hours, so I was happy.
And today... we drive up to Atlanta.
And tomorrow... we run the Peachtree!
Wish me luck!
